I have been waiting for a great second hand shop for 20 years in our area!!! I found it here! Wonderful staff and great selection and fair prices for the food inventory. You won’t regret going here.
Ariel Lackey
Just sold clothes & feel i was fairly compensated for what was accepted. Excited to work with in the future.
Ariel, thanks for selling to us! Congrats on your wedding-gorgeous picture!

Uptown Cheapskate is my favorite second-hand shop in Colorado Springs! The selection is fantastic, the prices are great, and there staff is so friendly! We love checking out their new stock!
Bobbie, Thanks for the kind, detailed review. Glad you liked the new items, too!
Danielle Cohen
The staff here is super nice and willing to help. Had a great selling process and also got great deals on cute clothes. I will definitely be back.
Danielle, Sounds like you sold items and bought items-the full service. Thanks for taking your girl-math to us!

Really glad my son talked me into going there it is a really unique place and they have really large variety of top notch clothes, and everyone is really nice and welcoming
Muleface, Love the nickname-they used to call me flyface. That was before “being so fly” was an expression, so I think they meant the insect-idk. So glad you enjoyed the store. Hope to see you back!

A store with clothes that don't suck. I really should say the place is horrible and never shop there so I can get what I want before it's gone but I won't. Men's stuff that's not just for work. 😎
Thanks, Nick, I’m thrilled we don’t suck. Whether you say we’re horrible ir not, there’s always a change in the stuff. People sell to us every day, so the inventory is constantly changing. Hope you always find something you like every time!

I cannot wait to go back. HUGE collection of great finds! Could easily spend all day and all my money here…
Maggie, love that you found the selection expansive. A lot to ogle for sure. Thanks for the feedback!

First time going in today with my husband. He didn’t find anything but we both agreed it was easier to shop than Plato’s Closet and service is faster for a fitting room and check out. Aisles are spaced out generously and the vibe doesn’t seem cluttered, but chic, well lit, and organized in a brand name store kinda way. Everyone was friendly but not overly so like I was going to steal something (like Plato’s Closet). Also, prices are way better!!! Definitely check them out. Hidden gem.
TK, So glad to see you made it. I know we’re a bit tucked away and harder to know about. Thanks for the shout out in the service. Staff will love to hear you appreciate their hard work. We really want to thank you for taking the time to describe the vibe in detail. Hope you found an Easter Egg!

I absolutely love this store!!! They have the best inventory! High quality clothing and everything else that goes with looking fresh!!
JJH, Thank you so much for the kudos on our inventory, or I should thank all of those of you who sell to us for the excellent inventory you sell us! Appreciate your feedback!

This place is very nice and very much on top of their game as far as professional and respectful business goes while at the same time it has a great atmosphere provided by a great team of happy and very fine young individuals who make the whole experience as good as the place you'll want to return all the time and also mention and recommend to family and friends. I tell everyone I know about this place even though I call it "uptowncheesecake academy ".lol and they make fun of my silly brain 🧠 but it's all in good spirits and can't forget the great selection of clothing, shoes and accessories plus A- 1 service that makes plattos closet a forgetable platter.
Pedro, OMG! I also slip and call us Uptown Cheesecake by mistake. In fact, we found it humorous enough to name the store gecko Cheesecake (that way he could answer the phone, “ Uptown Cheapskate, this is Uptown Cheesecake, how can I help you?”)-Thanks so much for the kindest of reviews. We look forward to seeing you again soon at our Easter egg hunt.
